I have never had a days training, other that watching other professionals work, and made a few dollars from it over the years.
Decide if you're going to do it as a hobby or too make money because they're entirely different routes now.

I agree with Paul. But what you have to learn first is that pictures don't sell. Ideas do. They don't even have to be creative, just valuable. If you can do this, you will earn a fine living taking pictures. Here is the bottom line. Your pictures will only ever be valuable if they tell a story. Otherwise, they are worthless.
